Austina Xu
Incoming Summer Analyst @ Cornerstone Research
About
Hi! I’m a junior at Williams College and a research assistant at the Leonard Davis Institute of Health Economics. I’m passionate about working directly with people to solve complex, high-impact problems, especially those tied to economic and social outcomes. My background spans academic research in behavioral and health economics and psychology, teaching, law, and public service. I’ve worked as a research assistant at the Wharton School and UCSC, an intern at my local district attorney’s office, a campus tour guide, and a teaching assistant for both the economics and statistics departments at Williams. Across these experiences, I’ve built strong analytical, communication, and client-facing skills, and I’m excited to keep exploring how to apply them in collaborative, high-stakes environments.Always open to connecting! Reach me at atx1@williams.edu.
